Today, I did a lesson in Ms. Mass’s fourth grade class. The students worked on multiplication. The class broke up into teams of four. Each team had a flipchart where two students raced to complete a multiplication fact at one time. One student was the fact changer (he/she had to change the fact that would be solved) and the other student was the fact checker with a calculator. If you would like to try this flipchart in your class click here.

This was the first time that students worked on the same project at the same time on the computers. They loved how they could all have their own computers and be working on the same presentation.
